Spice Rack Project *update

Well, this weekend I sat down to build the Spice Rack and try to make it as simple as possible to follow so that you might have a go. If you don't have any Baby Food Jars pop out to The Brocante Market or The Dublin Flea Market where I'm sure you'll pick up some nice, small, unusually styled jars.

Your local Homebase, B&Q or Hardware store should have wood supplies. They will cut it for you if you ask.

I used some old wood from a shelf unit I had. I quite liked the "aged" effect of the shelf but you can achieve that with new wood by just giving it a bash or two with on the concrete and shoving it about in the dirt.

Take some sandpaper to it as well to soften the look and take away some of the sharp edges.

Let me know how you get on with it. It's actually really easy to make.
